Forging ahead: Baltimore Port welcomes Panama canal expansion

It's almost a century since the Panama Canal was completed, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The canal is expanding massively, with considerable effect on world trade and shipping. By 2015, it will accommodate ships three times the current size, bringing more traffic and volume. That’s why ports are adapting to these new super-ships coming their way. Baltimore is just one of the ports happy to welcome these giants of the world’s waterways.
